Protagonist vs Hero

In this case literally.

Spoilers for a new-to-here movie to follow.

Who is the protagonist of Brave?

And who is the hero?

The advanced publicity, trailers and the like made it look like Merida would be both. In fact, her mother Eleanor really saves the day, after Merida’s pride messes everything up and the solution is down to Eleanor’s actions, plans and prompting.
